Kobe Bryant Farewell Tour : Kobe Bryant's Last Game in Boston

31 Dec 2015 The Lakers and the Celtics are longtime rivals, but all of that mutual hatred faded away on this Wednesday night. This is Kobe Bryant’s last game in the Garden.

Bryant showed he’s still got a bit left in the tank. He recorded his first double double of the season with 15 points and 11 rebounds as the fans shouted his name — loud and clear. It’s incredible.

The cheers erupted shortly after the 37-year-old hit this shot from way downtown to put Los Angeles up, 107-102 with less than two minutes left. Yes, Celtics fans were showering the LAKERS’ Kobe Bryant in cheers while their team was LOSING.

The Lakers (6-27) topped the Celtics (18-14), 112-104.

Kobe on Celtics fans: "Honestly, if I could chant for them, I would..I don’t think they really understand how much they meant to my career."

After the game, Bryant — in true Black Mamba fashion — told reporters that he has sincerely appreciated how brutal Boston fans have been over the years.
